Oh good. Cause I gotta find something. I have all the aircraft but none of the period specific markings.

Next March is good for me too - we'll be settled into our new house by then.

I'm probably going to go for a GR.7 as I've never actually managed to successfully build a Harrier, despite a number of attempts, and as it turns out - I have some good references. That being said, I quite fancy the idea of building some armour - either a Challenger, or maybe a Warrior. I know Trumpeter actually do a 1/35 Challenger in a Telic boxing.

What I find fascinating was the Canberra PR.9 option on the decal sheet I've ordered, hard to believe that an aircraft designed in the 1950's was taking part in a war in the 21st Century.

Yeah it's pretty cool - some interesting options.

That being said, I'm unlikely to build all the options on the sheet, so I might have some decals up for grabs if anyone needs them nearer the time.

Cool idea for a GB stick, it's nice to do something modern for a change!

@John - That Prowler sheet looks awesome!

Thanks Stuart. Ya know, unless a decal set is for a single subject, I have yet to use every single marking option off of a decal sheet that I’ve ever bought. Although I do have one set that is close to all used up.
Gettin back to this GB, when you think of the length of the war, and the variety of the equipment used, the range of possible subjects is massive. Anything from field improvised “road warrior” gun trucks to the latest high tech UAV drones. Tanks, stealth bombers, fighter jets, attack subs and guided missile cruisers that fired cruise missiles… and of course the central ingredient of war since man began, foot soldiers.

I don't think I've ever used up a full set either.

I got my decal set today - really looking forward to this GB. I think I may actually do a Canberra PR.9 and maybe a Harrier as well.

Is this happening this year?

TJ, I had forgotten all about this one, but I’m sure game for it.

Anybody else?

I’m in providing I find a decent Tornado kit in he coming couple months or so. Or even a Harrier. What’s the timeline for this GB?

I’m gonna say to the end of the year.

That’ll work for me.

Still trying to figure out what to build for it.
